Remember the Life Saver Cream suckers from the ‘80’s??? Well, here is the remix, but for adults. Sweet berry and cream aroma and taste. I add a tad of sugar free vanilla syrup, close my eyes, and pop a Madonna cassette in. Ahhhh, memories of my youth.
Strong berry flavor. A bit tart, but easily sweetened up with a touch of sugar if you like. I prefer it hot, but it is pretty good iced as well.
This is one of the best teas I’ve ever had. I mixed this with Buddha’s Dream and a little agave (over ice), it was naturally sweet, fruity, and creamy. Sooo delicious.
Forest berries in a jammy blend with a hint of cream
This has a nice smooth berry flavor. I really enjoy it iced and often do it as a cold brew. Make sure to stock if you like it since its only available seasonally
Smells, and tastes, like bubblegum. Not something I’d be in the mood for often, but not a bad cup of tea. This could be a fun treat for kids’ tea parties (do they even do that anymore??) or iced in the summer.
Slightly sweet, creamy, just a tiny bit tart. Excellent flavor. My 4 year old and I both love this tea.
This is good, but not great. I tried this along with the Honeybush Blueberry Pancake and much preferred that one.
This tea smells better than how it taste. It has a faint taste of berry, not berry enough for me and I usually love fruity taste. I added extra dehydrated cranberry from my pantry to improve the taste.
Although not always a fan of fruit tisanes, this one is delicious and refreshing. It makes a perfect iced tea without additions; even better with a touch of pure stevia.
Like a cup of warm berry jam in a tea. Super yummy!
this is a family favorite. delicious hot and cold.
I'm not a huge fan of creme teas, as they tend to give me migraines, just like vanilla-flavored yogurt. Somehow, Adagio has found a way to impart that creme flavor without it tasting artificial. I love this tea.
It's berry sweet, creamy without any milk. It makes a great desserty substitute
I really enjoyed this one both hot and cold. The closest I can come to describing it is *Celestial Seasonings Wild Berry Zinger*.
I love this on ice. I didn’t think I would because if the cream factor, but it’s subtle and smooth. A nice afternoon pick me up.
A nice afternoon or dessert tea for when you’re feeling like some fruit flavor!
I found out the hard way that hibiscus causes milk to curdle. A very sad revelation for one who puts milk in absolutely everything, even if it's not really meant to have milk. However, I must admit that it tastes delightful even as is. Four stars for flavor, but have to take away one for my immense disappointment in the inability to include milk.
Love it love it can’t wait to have more yum and drink away ,it’s delicious.
Enjoyed Berry Crème Compote. It has a great flavor!
Smooth and sweet, I take mine with a bit of sugar. I wish it had caffeine but still a solid choice for a tea
I really liked this one! It has a very summer flavor profile and is perfect for a sunny day
I truly enjoyed this tea. When it was hot the berries and creme was very subtle. As it cooled those flavors became more present. This tea would be heavenly iced.
Update: I ordered this tea as I loved so much and cold brewed it. It will be my go to way to do this tea from now on. The berries were very present and the taste was heavenly.
I'm always a sucker for the berries and creme combination. This tea is the perfect blend of tart and sweet.
This is not your ordinary fruit tea. There's a little something extra I can't put my finger on- maybe it's the cream that mellows out the tang of the fruit? All I know is, I was expecting nothing more than a decent herbal tea that I could put on ice and I received a tea that kicked my previous fruity herbal favorite ( from another maker) off its pedestal, likely for good. Going to stock up on this one while I can
Very smooth and has a great flavor absolutely love this tea
Love this, great berry flavor, hint of cream. Perfect for the start of the work day. No sugar needed for great flavor.
So tasty!!! the second you open the packaging its all sweet berry wonderfulness. this is a favorite of any guest I have over the second I open the jar. very sweet on its own with that touch of creaminess and the color is a beautiful red. add a little milk to really make it fantastic and to turn it the cutest pink ever.
I was so excited to try this tea as I thought it would be creamy and sweet but the rose notes were so unexpected and overwhelming. It was hard for me to get past a few sips. I see now rose is one of the main ingredients- I should have read that before purchasing. If you like rose/floral flavors, you'll like this tea.
I love this one! Nice and strong fruity flavor with a delicious sweet note from the creme flavoring.
Enjoyed the fruit mixture and slight vanilla Flavor.
I liked this with a teaspoon of honey or so, sweet-sour berry taste was nice as an evening tea and might go well on a summer evening... but I think I prefer other herbals and white or green teas
I like herbal teas that have a good bit of color. I am not a fan of the cream flavoring.
Tangy is right - there's quite a bit of hibiscus in this one. Would have liked a bit more creme to balance it out.
A very colorful blend. Strong berry taste that was not overly tart. I could smell the vanilla from the creme, but the flavor was not as strong. No sweetener needed, milk or cream WILL curdle. Would also be great as an iced tea.
A great tea enjoy the berries and he hibiscus, I put rock sugar in my tea.
This tea has a yummy berry and cream balance of flavors. I cold brewed mine and added some agave for sweetner. I tasted a light floral note but couldn't decipher hibiscus and it just wasn't tart to me which I'm glad for. Overall a good cold brew cup.
I saved this for after dinner to relax with. So happy I did! It's like dessert in a cup! All the flavors play nicely. Hibiscus takes the lead as it cools, but that's just fine with me!
This blend sounded divine in idea, but I think the rosehips and the raspberry leaves made it a little too sour. The creme wasn't powerful enough to tone those two down, and so it just came across as a tangy blend with the barest hint of creme struggling to surface. For those who enjoy a berry with a tangy blast, this is great. I just was hoping for a creamier berry taste, personally. Think it would be worth a re-visit as a coldbrew to try and temper that hibiscus, raspberry leaves, and rosehips.
This is pretty nice. Lots of Berry flavor, although it strikes me as just a bit medicinal. It would be delicious iced.
This tea smelled fantastic and exactly like berries and cream, but I felt like the flavor fell short of what the aroma promised. I didn't taste the cream at all, and the hibiscus far overpowered the berry flavored. Four stars because I still felt it was a decent tea, but it would have been better without the hibiscus.
I would have enjoyed the flavor of berries so much more had hibiscus not shown up! Ugh, I just do not dig the taste of that flower! The berries were prevalent, but even the strong presence of cream blanketing the berries could not disguise the hibiscus or its sidekick rosehip.
I've tried this one twice now and I definitely think cold brewing is the way to go as you get more fruity/berry flavor. Unfortunately, like a lot of the fruity herbal teas, the hibiscus flavor is extremely overpowering and is the main flavor you get. However, cold brewing makes the berries and the cream much more prominent than when brewed hot, so you still get the desired flavor it's just mixed with the strong hibiscus flavor. I added a little vanilla syrup to sweeten it and it helped a lot to bring a cream flavor too, but I really wish the berries were a stronger flavor. It's not a bad tea though, it's really tart and refreshing and I enjoyed my cup!
Excellent herbal tea. Big blueberry and raspberry taste with creamy sugar and a touch of hibiscus. The tea smells delightful. Excellent decaf option.
Updated from 3/24/22: Always very tasty! Plenty of berry aroma and flavour, pleasantly tart. (8 min steep.) The cream flavour became more apparent as it cooled, so it evolved nicely. I also did a second steep at 10 min and it was smoother and still delicious, just not nearly as pretty, of course. I can see this being a good cold-steep as well.
This was a bit too tart for me, even with sweetener. There was definitely berry flavor but it was overpowered by tartness. I liked it most when it had cooled down to room temp.
Strong hibiscus and rosehip tartness, with a touch of cream. I didn't get much in the way of berry flavor. I think, not being a big fruity herbals/hibiscus fan, this tea just isn't in my wheelhouse! I had it hot, and it may be better iced and slightly sweetened.
CT packet 3/22/23 - This tea is a delicious and refreshing blend of berries, hibiscus, and rose hips. Since I am now on a caffeine restriction I am really glad this tea is caffeine-free. It's slightly sweet and tart flavor is great accented by the light pink color and a floral aroma. I love the way the different flavors blended together, and it's so refreshing and flavorful.
A creamy, berry, and tart tasting herbal tea. This tastes great iced with a little sugar.
UPDATED from 3/24/22: There is the smell of berries and something tart as the CommuniTEA packet opens. The various lovely ingredients steep into a gorgeous clear scarlet color. Yummy tart fruit flavor. Adding ¼ teaspoon of sweetener (to 10 oz) helps the sweeter fruits to rise up. Now this is the perfect sweet/tart -and it wows the taste buds, even as it cools. This would be good as an ice tea, as a partner to Berry Blast. Yummy, yummy tea that makes me smile when I drink it ( AND NO CAFFEINE!). (10 mins @ 212ºF + sweetener).
